People's Deputy Alexei Goncharenko, who was present in the hall during the conference, said that at the beginning of Vance's speech, all "balanted and rejoiced". However, when it came to Europe, the hall began to feel tension. According to the parliamentarian, European leaders and bureaucrats began to be viewed while in frank shock. "I listen to Vance's speech together with one of Munich's delegations.
They are viewed and do not understand anything at all. Someone says it looks like a declaration of war," the Ukrainian politician reported. Goncharenko also commented on the content of the speech itself, including the lack of mentions about Ukraine. "In his speech, Vance said nothing about the war and Ukraine. It is a bad call for us. Globally - Ukraine is considered the US as the same vassal as the EU, but even more problematic. Therefore, the EU has to pay and solve this problem," - He wrote.
